Finding My Way Through a Life Crossroads – Jamie

Jamie’s experience with telehealth therapy

The following is an honest account written by a ReachLink client named Jamie:

“ReachLink and my counselor, Maria, have helped me navigate a challenging decision-making process regarding my career path.

Life had opened two vast windows of opportunity for me, and I needed advice as I was having difficulty knowing what I wanted. I couldn’t find anyone who could understand and view my predicament from an impartial perspective, so I was delighted to discover ReachLink while researching online therapy options.

My first experience with counseling was in high school when I sought support and guidance for family, friend, and school-related issues. So, I decided to take that first big step and open up to someone. Because I was in high school at the time, it was much more convenient to see someone face-to-face than it is with my busy schedule now.

When I signed up for ReachLink more recently, I was relieved to find it offered the support I needed from a licensed clinical social worker and the convenience of connecting whenever I was available. With my hectic weekly schedule, I could no longer manage to schedule in-person counseling appointments.

I have been working with Maria on ReachLink for about four weeks, and I can confidently say that I am a lot less anxious about my career path now than when I first signed up. I had been growing restless the weeks before signing up, and I am much better off now than I was before.

Maria helped me understand that whenever making big life decisions, sometimes you must listen to your heart and follow it. I learned that life doesn’t stop for anyone. While you can sit there and think for days about what you want from life, time will continue to move forward, even if you haven’t. I also learned that my mentality plays a massive role in my decisions. I can make better choices for myself by maintaining a positive outlook without regretting the opportunity cost.

My most significant achievement due to my counseling with ReachLink is developing a renewed strength in my faith. Not many people understand the importance of faith in one’s life, but my counselor gave me the affirmation I needed to move forward. Whether you’re looking for faith in yourself, others, or God, having faith in your life can be as important as having food to eat, water to drink, and air to breathe for many people.

Thanks to ReachLink, my faith is stronger than ever, and life is looking excellent!”
